ANOTHE2 ROBBERY.

While the officers of the law were in
hot pursuit of gang Of supposed train
robbers near Austin, for deeds done in
the psst, another party, near this city,
was earning for itself the distinction OF
relieving the express company and the
United States mail of what ready money
these institutions happened to have on
hand. The GOODNESS, method and admir-
&ole tmperturbability Of these train rob
berS, and the facility and expedition with
which they execute their designs is as
tonishing. There appears to be abso-
lutely less danger in roDbing train now
a-d4ys than in engaging in a street fight.
Four or five not over-brave men can &C
complish the feat without danger, and
with but little delay to the travelling pub-
lie. 1t is simple performance, exciting
perhaps, and certainly remuneratiYe. 1t
may be that some of the bandits will be
captured and punished, though il they
make bold stand and remain silent it
will be difficult to convict them excepting
on circumstantisl evidence, and the con-
Viction of few will have no terrors for
the many. The only way the industry
can be broken up effeCtually is by making
it dangerous, by meeting the robbers with
their own weapons and shooting them
down in the act. Men of courage and
GOODNESS should be placed as guards on
each train to protect it and they should
be prepared to fight II out with
the bandits whenever they make
an attempt at robbery. The state
of Texas guarantees protection
TO all her citizens and to the strangers
within her borders. She should provide
men enough to fulfill the promise il it
took half a country side. The railroads
and express companies are taxpayers,
and entitled to the protection given all
other enterprises, and 1t is unjust to de-
mand of them that they provide their own
police and bear the expense Of maintain
ing guards. The people should be
aroused. That false and foolish senti-
ment thst winks at or secretly exults
over successful robberies of this charac-
ter, as a species of dramatic justice that
merely takes from monopoly q portion OF
its supposed ill-gotten gsins, should be
tabooed and purer and healthier public
opinion substituted. People should be
made to realize that 1t was the laws Of
the country which were being violated,
and that the losses sustained by the vic
tins of these robberies were mere Incl
dents. Unfortunately for The good name
Of our state and the safety of our citizens,
people have been taught by demagogues
to believe that corporations are public
plunderers; inst they control sll things
and crush sll opposition, and the vicious
ness of these teachings is bearing fruit in
the number Of robbeTies which
are multiplying, end the comparative in
difference with which these outrsges are
contemplated by the public. The false
haze of silly romance which surrounds
train robbirg should be dispelled, and
people should realize that the practice, if
tolerated, will soon extend until all laws
are set at defiance and brute force rules.

THE New York authorities should take
Herr Most and his rantankerous pals By
the scruff of the neck and land them in

mouths of these bleating anarchists one
time as another as it must be done some
time. The sympathy which these cut
throats strive to arouse by claiming to
be the Spokesman and martyrs OF the
labor cause is not responsive. Lsboring

About that "Lfbcl."
Austin Statesman.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE is cheered
by the information that one Jones, who
took buggy ride and everstayed his
time, has sued the paper for libel. THE
GAZETTE, like the Globe-Democrat, has
become so used TO 1t that it simply smiles
when the 'legsl papers" are being served
upon the editors and proprietors. But
THE GAZETTE is read by everybody, and,
like other papers, it has to take the risk
of many items, trusting to the honor,
judgment and accuracy OF correspond
ents, any of whom have it in their power
to almost ruin paper.

The president of the Texas Banking

The committee to whom the report was
referred reported adversely upon his
recommendation They recognized the
fact that the people are not yet ready to
take from the poor Of Texas the last
prop that secures them against the all
devouring mortgage. The recommends
ton of the bank president is in keeping
with the teachings CT the Fort Worth

WHEN Anarchist Parsons thinks of the
fate that awaits him when the time comes
for him to dance upon al airy hypothesis,
he will doubtless regret that ne did not
remain in hiding instead of dehantly sur
rendering to the authorities. "The
gang" may be powerful protection in
street brawls but in courts of justice they
are impotent to succor or to save.

DEATH OF WILLIAM D. AXTELL.

William D. Axtell, editor and proprie- tor of the Berkshire County Eagle, published at Pittsfeld, Mass, died at his home in that place, on Friday, Mar. 25. at the age of 67 years. He had all his life been connected with the news paper business. Rarely indeed does a journalist close his career possessed of the universal friendship which Mir Axtell retained. He always acted with charity towards all, with malice towards none." Berkshire county has lost one of its leaders in journalism, and one of its best known and most influential men.
 MT Axtell's devotion to Masonry and his high standing in the order are we'll known. He has faithfully filled many important offices in Masonry. Ia the Scottish rite he attained the thirty second degree, ithe highest in the Masonry of the world, except one. In the York, English rite he passed through all the degrees. He was also Q veteran and jealous Odd Fellow, and held the highest offices in that order. In religion he was conscientious, consistent and active Episcopalian, hay ing for many years been vestryman of St. Stephens church.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The bill making ten hours days work for women, and children under sixteen years of age, passed the senate. It is stated that at the present time 1C per cent of the women and 22s per cent of the children labor longer than the mon, and in almost every case they re- ceive a smaller compensation for theil labor.
 The committee made favorable report to the senate on bill laying state tax on the lists of 1886 and 1887 of 1 1-i mills.
 An attempt has been made in the house to carry bill abolishing school districts, and giving towns control oi an the schools within their limits, the object of such action being to improve the condition of the schools in small districts. A spirited discussion was called forth by the question both in favor and in opposition to it. It was defeated by vote of 9l to 122.
 The act fixing the time of the annual meeting of town boards of health to be on Monday after the first Wednesday ip October, and giving the state board of health power to appoint health office, where local boards fail to do so, passed the house; also the bill requiring tn. registration of all deceased persons with certificate of cause of death.
 Favorable report was rendered by tn. committee on railroads on resolution giving authority to the Hartford and Connecticut Western railroad to build a branch extending to the Massachusetts line in Sufield, and also on bill relating to the lighting and heating of cars. IL provides that in returns for 1887 railway companies shall make report of the methods of lighting and heating cars, and after November 1888 railroad com missioners may issue orders in regard to the heating and lighting of passenger cars.
 The bill increasing the fee of jurors and witnesses in Litchfield county, and the act authorizing appropriations fo, the G. A. R. were rejected.
 The question of free bridges IS at tracting considerable attention and e1 citing much interest at present, and both sides are sustained by able speak erA The principal objection to freeing all bridges seems to be the fact that thereby the taxes must be increased.
